Mission statement

WELCOME! It is at the intersection of technology and patient empowerment, which is where I, in my role as founding director of the Radboud University Medical Centre REshape Center and advisor to the Board of Directors (since 2007) feel most ‘at home’.

This crossroad brings new opportunities but also challenges that go way beyond technology and processes.

They affect our culture, our beliefs and most of all -I hope- our lifestyle to in the end live a healthier life. Writing on a new book that will be titled “Augmented Health(care)™ : The end of the beginning” (May 2018, Barcelone Spain) as I think we’re at the end of an era of creating awareness, pilots, proof of concepts etc in the digital transformation of health(care).

The two worlds combined into the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre and Singularity University in Silicon Valley & the Netherlands and in the Nordics he’s modus operandi is always challenging, sometimes provocative but always techno-realistic.

The objective is to keep Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre at the forefront of innovation and to have a soft landing in the future meanwhile creating a sustainable global health(care) for all. Creating breakthrough programs, foresight, and products if industry lacks progression itself.
